Fundamental of female life
Introduction to stages of life
Female bodies go through immense changes throughout their lives. From childhood to adulthood, from menstruation to motherhood, each phase has its own significance. These phases bring about physical, emotional, and spiritual changes in their lives.
Menstrual cycle
This is a phase of a woman's life that occurs usually every month. It is a body's way to prepare itself for a possible pregnancy.
Nutrition for menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle can affect the mood, energy levels, and physical health of females. That is why women need a diet that provides them with all the necessary nutrients throughout their cycle.
Asana and Pranayama for a healthy cycle
To maintain a healthy cycle and prevent abnormalities, women should take care of their bodies through proper rest, a balanced diet, and regular pregnancy yoga practice. Our experts in prenatal yoga TTC will teach you how to do it professionally.
Anatomy of male and female bodies
Reproductive organs
In females, the organ that produces eggs (ova) and female hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, is the ovary. In males, the organ that produces sperm and male hormones, such as testosterone, is the testes.
Pelvic bone or pelvis
The pelvic bone, also called the pelvis, is a sturdy, bowl-shaped structure at the base of the spine. It serves to connect the upper body to the lower body while providing support for bodily organs, such as the bladder, intestines, and uterus in women. It is an essential bone for females during their efforts to give birth.
Anatomy of Abdominal Muscles, back muscles , pelvic floor muscles
The major focus in this 7 days course will be especially on these muscles as these
are the supportive muscles that are required to be strong for a healthy pregnancy.
Ovulation and fertility days
Ovulation is the time period during menstrual cycle where a mature egg is released
from the ovary. This occurs usually once every month. In the 28 days of cycle the
ovulation time period stays for around 14 days and during this time a woman becomes
most fertile and ready for fertility.
Infertility
Male and female infertility
Infertility refers to not being able to achieve pregnancy even after trying for over a month without birth control.
Causes of infertility in females
Hormonal imbalance, irregular to no ovulation, uterine issues, and age-related decline in egg quality
Causes of infertility in males
Low sperm count or weak sperm, hormonal issues, blockages, or infections in reproductive organs
Asanas to prevent infertility
This problem is widespread worldwide, but our experts have solutions to address it, which involve practicing specific asanas and pranayama in conjunction with a nutrition-rich diet.
Preconception
Preconception is the beautiful time period for preparing the body for the foundation of pregnancy.
Garbha Sanskaar
"Garbha" means womb, and "Sanskaar" refers to values. Therefore, Garbha Samskaar is an ancient Hindu ritual designed to nurture the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the baby during pregnancy. Through yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, good thoughts, and a sattvic lifestyle, parents can create a positive environment that influences the baby's growth and nature even before birth.
